Wildstar

So much so it killed itself.

Pretty shit. Literal wow clone in its progression. Only 8 fucking skills. Extremely ugly graphics, especially characters and races, mounts and skill special effects. Main features being useless, such as explorer paths. Lots of very annoying quests involving using items with cooldowns. Very bad setting and lore. Stupid "protostar" goblins pasted everywhere, supposed to be the funny mascots of the game but turned out to be supreme cringe.

The only good parts were :
Combat : personal skill was very rewarding
Animation : fluidity was top notch
Housing system : simply the best ever created. Could be an entire game of its own.

>all they had was the furry fanbase and they were too small of group to keep the game running with.

lol no
most furries didn't play it because the only animal faction looked fucking retarded
t. furry

Game was fucking trash, devs wanted it to be like vanilla WoW without realizing WoW was always fucking garbage
Only people who played were furfag roleplay retards
Format of character progression was as cliche as any f2p mmo could be
>level up only through nonsensical busy-work quests until you reach a gap you're forced to grind through on the same shitty mobs over and over
>go to next area
>rinse and repeat

Boring and shit just like all the other MMO's before it.

Oh well, it didn't even have that then.

It was very buggy.
>UI guy expected modders to fix the hot mess for him

I played because of the Aurin and a potential playable Ekose race that never happened.
Those gerbils were literally the tranny faggot race.

It was good, but playing it made me realize how much WoW's lore and my knowledge of Warcraft in general made my overall investment that much more involved.

With Wildstar I was going into a completely different world that couldn't have as much depth and lore that a MMO, i feel at least, should have. If it didn't die and stuck with it for a couple more years it might have interested me more. Also gameplay was tight, and the Chau people were cute ngl

It was a pretty fun game. The combat was very active and you had to dodge the red circles or you would take a ton of damage. The best part about the game was the housing system, and you would see people build all kinds of jumping puzzles, or houses.

Most people didn't give the game a chance, but as someone who played until max level, it was a fun experience.

The best thing Wildstar left in its legacy :

The best wow clone in my experience. The best praise I can give it was that it felt like everything I liked about WoW, but with engaging and rewarding gameplay. I felt like I was playing a class and playing a game rather than just mashing some combination of 1-2-3. I hated the art style when I started but it crew on me, and the dungeons and pvp were some of the most fun I had in an MMO. Unfortunately I got into it too late when it was already f2p and on its way out, so I didn't really get far into end game to see what else it had to offer, but the leveling journey and what I did get out of max level was rivaled only by WoW and FFXIV which is really impressive in a sea of shitty MMOs. I wish it stuck around.

Really unfortunate that it shot itself in the foot with an "acquired taste" art style, moba-esque learning curve, and probably the worst marketing campaign I've ever seen from an MMO.

what was so bad about the marketing? I never saw/heard anything about how it was marketed

I played to max level through pvp which I thought was neat. I had no idea what to do after that so I ended up quitting after a month.

The best part about it was the trailers

Nothing, dunno what he's talking about. Marketing was precisely the only good thing about Wildstar, those CGI dev notes got everyone hyped and playing. Everyone left within the first month, though.

Battleborn: the mmo. It was really fucking obnoxious. I really couldn't stand announcer anoouncing every fucking fucking thing i did like second coming if christ.

It was fun. The fact that every single attack was clearly marked on the ground made it very obvious what was happening even when it got pretty cluttered.

Wildstar's biggest mistake was trusting NCsoft, destroyer of IPs, and also not coming out about 4 years later when WoW would lose almost all its ground.

Not gonna lie, my waifu was cute

lol

>game gives you a blowjob and lets you cum in its mouth because you leveled up

>The best wow clone in my experience.
I'd say RIFT occupies that spot. It was a wow clone without the furry shit and cowboys.

that was the best hair

>He didn't play Dominion
Pimpin' down on you

The way their promotional videos and material was presented just had this really smug and sleek feel to it that's kind of hard to explain. The narrator had this "I'm better than you, and I know it. Now buy my game" sound to him, and the jokes and humor felt very "made-for-reddit". It was like watching some pretentious apple product commercial as someone who hasn't used apple products before.

Maybe it just wasn't my cup of tea and other people liked it. Its ultimately what turned me off buying and playing it in the first place (only giving it a shot when it was f2p)

Probably the best housing system in any MMO.
Combat was half way between action and tab targeting but you still had to use specific addons to lock camera to your mouse.
Every class had its own gimmick and could be either dps or healer/tank so no hybrid tax for "balance" reasons.
One mistake they made was trying to do both PvE and PvP when the whole combat system relied on red ground = bad, green ground = good turning any battleground into a disco clusterfuck.
Attunement for raids was a major pain in the ass and any decent player would end up forced to carry dead weight through dungeon speedruns hoping they don't fuck up only to carry them again during raids.
Artstyle was too cartoonish for most players and the announcer was annoying and overdone.

I had fun but it could have been so much better if they ditched PvP or sticked to arenas, they took too long to fix gamebreaking issues and they mistakenly aimed marketing toward the hardcore/wow vanilla crowd for a sub based MMO instead of going B2P and mugging whales with cosmetics/PLEX. Then again, with how many horror stories you hear from ex devs or the fact NCsoft was the publisher it was only a matter of time before it died.

The setting and art was WASTED as a MMO.
